#1 The woman was filmed spewing a racist tirade at bouncer in Liverpool city centre

It has subsequently had more than a million views.

Williams' lawyer, Kieran Fielding, defending Williams, insisted his client was "not a racist person."

He said: "I can't stand here and tell you the language that you have heard was not the foulest, most disrespectful, most abhorrent language. But is my client a racist person? No, she is not."

Mr Fielding said members of Williams' extended family were of mixed race and now had "nothing to do with her" as a result of the video.

He said that she would "never be free" of the shameful incident.

#2 Williams's defence lawyer denied she was a racist

The court heard how she made the vile sexual and racist comments about Mr Mensah after being kicked out of the bar over an altercation with another woman.

Williams' aunt Elaine Hughes, 40, of Sessions Road in Walton, and their friend Paula Martindale, 42, of Lowerson Crescent, Norris Green, also pleaded guilty to racially aggravated threatening behaviour.

Amanda Cullen, prosecuting, told the court that Hughes had followed Williams out of Rubber Soul.

Martindale was heard saying: "get away from the f****** ISIS man".

While Williams can be heard saying: "Move you little n*****. You little fat hairy n*****. You f****** black b******," along with other explicit comments.

She said Williams tried to slap Mr Mensah as he filmed the incident on his phone, while her friends tried to drag her away from the scene.

#3 Williams tried to shove the doorman when he began filming her

The court heard Williams tested positive for cocaine after turning herself in and had previous convictions for concealing criminal property and battery.

Ms Cullen read a statement from Mr Mensah, who said he was "upset and angry" over the incident.

He said: "I am just a black British male trying to earn a living. I should not be racially abused for doing my job keeping people safe."

The court heard that Williams had been due to start working at a shop owned by a man of Moroccan descent, but had been too ashamed to go back after the incident.

Mr Fielding said: "This is not a quick, quiet guilty plea. It is going to be in the press and there is a lot of public interest in this case. She is never going to be free of it."

Melanie Tomlinson, representing Hughes and Martindale, said her clients were both mothers and had to live with the shame of people saying thing to them and their children.

Magistrates fined the women £220 each and ordered each of them to pay £100

compensation each to Mr Mensah.

They were each ordered to pay £85 prosecution costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

A fourth woman, Lois Martindale, 23, of Lowerson Crescent, has pleaded not guilty to racially aggravated threatening behaviour and will stand trial before magistrates on July 8.
